Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 172: Three Envoys Gathered in Iron Country

Heaven and Earth was a famous divine ability of Western Desert.

Very few people knew it.

However, almost all of those who knew this kind of technique were peerless figures.

Fu Luo slowly opened her mouth. After a period of adaptation, her speech was no longer intermittent.

"Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, it has the same effect as the cicada-type Gu worm.

"It's hard to judge which one is stronger."

"These two types of Gu worms are very suitable for strength path Gu worms."

"If they are matched with a powerful strength path Gu worm, there will be a qualitative change."

Xu Yaofeng continued to express his worries, "This Lord of Mortal World is the source of Ji Chang's awakening."

"It can be said that the chaos in the world was caused by this person's appearance."

Chen Qing was slightly shocked. He had almost forgotten that he was the source of all of this.

However, when had he ever been willing to start a war and conquer the world?

Initially, he only wanted to live forever.

This made him seem like a bitch.

Therefore, after realizing that he was the cause of all of this, he decided to seriously fulfill Xuan Ping's promise.

If he wanted to do something, he had to do his best.

Xu Yaofeng continued, "According to the news from the sect, because of Yan Shiying's sudden disruption, the Lord of Mortal World was forced to come out and reorganize Nan Li."

"With this person's ability, it's very likely that he can unify Nan Li's foundation."

"There might be a huge variable in our control of the Death Realm."

Just as everyone was worried that the Lord of Mortal World would become a key variable, Chen Qing, who had never spoken during the conversation, suddenly spoke.

Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "I once said that I have one last believer."

Hu Yao and Murong Lang still didn't understand what this meant, but Xu Yaofeng slowly said, "That Extreme Light Sect's Lord of Mortal World calls himself Tai Yi."

Tai Yi, Tai Chu's only believer.

Fu Luo asked doubtfully, "Tai Yi is your believer?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly and didn't say another word.

After getting a definite answer from Chen Qing, everyone finally understood that all of this was caused by Senior Tai Chu behind the scenes.

The source of all of this was probably from Senior Tai Chu.

This was Senior Tai Chu's arrangement.

After all, the most crucial catalyst was actually one of them.

After receiving this news, they once again felt the pressure of a real big shot.

It was like a dark cloud shrouding the sky, controlling everything in the world.

Senior Tai Chu, who had just awakened, only had one believer left. Thus, he used this one and only believer to stir up strife in this world and become the center of the world.

The Lord of Mortal World, whom they all thought was a great enemy, turned out to be one of them. It was a great surprise.

Xu Yaofeng said, "If that's the case, then our chances of controlling the Death Realm will be much higher."

Chen Qing said calmly, "This is a new experiment. It's an attempt to deduce how much foundation the great sects have."

Chen Qing didn't hide his ambition at all. He wanted to become the new Sect Master.

However, in the eyes of the other four, this was not an ambition at all. Instead, it was something that an existence like him should do.

The reason they followed Chen Qing was because they wanted to become the founder of such a great sect.

After Chen Qing released this news, the four of them could not help but be greatly excited, feeling that this matter was very promising.

Hu Yao, who rarely spoke at gatherings, suddenly said very proudly, "My subordinates now already have 800 Foundation Establishment demons!"

"This number is still rising. After I reach the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, I might be able to lead 2,000 to 3,000 demons.

"Even if I enter the Death Realm, I should be able to bring 500 to 600 demons with me."

When Chen Qing heard this news, he was also shocked. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was pondering in his heart.

Hu Yao didn't seem to be very smart. How was she able to gather such a large demon army?

Xu Yaofeng asked tentatively, "How did you do it?"

Hu Yao said, "It's very simple. Ji Chang killed all those powerful Foundation Establishment demons. I followed behind him and picked up the surviving demons along the way.

"As I picked them up, the number of demons inexplicably increased."

Ji Ru, Murong Lang, and Xu Yaofeng were all shocked by this result.

They never expected that Ji Chang's involvement would have such an effect.

The gazes of the four of them fell on Chen Qing. In their opinion, they could only find the reason for this unexplainable coincidence from Senior Tai Chu.

In their opinion, Chen Qing was the one behind the scenes who caused all of this.

It turned out that Senior Tai Chu had already arranged everything.

What they needed to do was only to fulfill their responsibility as pawns.

And the general trend of the world was all under the control of Senior Tai Chu.

After gathering the power of Nanli, the Western Desert Demon Race, the Extreme Light Sect, and Ji Ru, who was hiding at the back, after defeating Ji Chang, they would be able to control the forces of the Great Liao.

From the looks of it, the general trend of the world was already on their side.

These forces combined could already be considered one-third of the world in the Death Realm.

In fact, Senior Tai Chu had already predicted the turmoil that might occur after unifying the Death Realm!

Three hundred years ago, the Lord of the Mortal World had been attacked by the whole world because he had monopolized the power of the world.

But they were different. They were a force that included the Great Liao, Miao Shen, and the Western Desert Demon Race.

With the three parties working together and many allies, it was very likely that they could really do it.

Xu Yaofeng said excitedly: "Great news, great news!"

Ji Ru also became serious: "I will quickly find the Dao Integration advancement item for Three Year Cicada, and when Ji Chang enters the Death Realm, we will enter together with him."

Chen Qing also started to sense the change in the situation. Right now, the advantage seemed to be shifting to his side.

After the gathering ended, Chen Qing started to consider the current situation.

Finally, he looked in the direction of the Iron Nation. He wondered how his big brother was doing in the Iron Nation and whether he was in any danger.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing suddenly remembered that he still had a Gu worm that he had not given to Xuan Ping. He had been too busy recently and had forgotten about it.

He took out flame concubine Gu. "This is a fire type arrow path Gu worm, do you like it?"

Xuan Ping picked up this Gu worm and sensed it carefully: "I like everything you give me."

Seeing that Xuan Ping accepted it, Chen Qing sent out his evil ghosts and started to recruit evil ghosts in Lin country, expanding his evil ghost army.

Eight days later, three hundred li away from Ji Zhen mountain.

Rusty Iron River.

Xuan Cuo led over a hundred spirit beasts and carried the corpses of the Xuan Guan army as they moved towards Ji Zhen mountain.

He had wanted to bring only the heads, but unfortunately, in the battlefield of cultivators, finding a complete head was a problem.

Thus, he could only seal all the corpses in ice and bring them over.

From time to time, there would be soldiers searching the corpses, finding Gu worms, spirit pearls, spirit stones, or other precious materials.

Regarding this, Xuan Cuo turned a blind eye to it.

This mission was very dangerous, if Iron Country disobeyed, they might be killed in anger.

Thus, Xuan Cuo allowed them to do whatever they wanted.

They were still three hundred li away from Ji Zhen mountain, the place where Iron Country's foundation establishment cultivators gathered. If they continued forward, they would reach Iron Country's famous Rusty Iron River.

This river's water was crimson red, even if God Miao's divine avatar had not awakened, it would always be like this.

There was a lot of iron in the river, both sides were crimson red.

Iron Country never lacked iron.

That was where the name came from.

Just as they reached the bridge, Xuan Cuo saw a scholar-looking person sitting on the white horse.

This person held a book in his hand, but strangely carried a carved wooden coffin on his back.

This coffin was very delicate, like a woman's coffin.

"Who are you?"

Seeing this dressed person, Xuan Cuo instinctively felt that this person was not simple.

So he asked.

The scholar stood up, "Iron Country's Foundation Establishment has a heart of iron. Blindly persuading will not succeed."

"I'm here to lend you a hand."

Xuan Cuo carefully looked at the scholar, but could not see through this person's depth, "What do you want?"

The scholar smiled and cupped his hands, "I only want Guard Lord to help me with a small matter."

Xuan Cuo said, "I can't agree to this."

The scholar said, "No matter, it's only a small matter. For Guard Lord, it's just an ordinary matter."

"Once it's done, Guard Lord will definitely agree."

Xuan Cuo said, "I don't know what ability you have to dare ask for this?"

The scholar laughed loudly, "If I speak, Iron Country's Foundation Establishment won't dare to move."

Xuan Cuo flipped off the spirit beast, "May I know your name?"

The scholar said, "This humble one is Jiang Xingchuan."

Xuan Cuo was shocked. This person also left the mountain?

After following the great shaman for many years, Xuan Cuo had some understanding of the young talents of the various countries.

If he remembered correctly, Jiang Xingchuan seemed to be Iron Country's strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the type without a doubt.

But very few people had seen his true appearance.

And this person appeared and disappeared like a ghost. It was very difficult for ordinary people to meet him.

"Sir, please take a seat."

Jiang Xingchuan waved his hand, "No, I'm used to walking, not sitting."

Xuan Cuo could not force it, so he said, "Then let's go together."

Night had just fallen when Xuan Cuo saw a towering mountain towering in front of him. It was a black mass and it looked like a huge crouching beast.

In the dark night, a fire dragon formed by torches quickly lit up. A large number of knights rode over on iron horses.

All of them were in the Foundation Establishment realm. It seemed like these were the guards sent by the Iron Nation to welcome them.

The knight at the front was clad in iron armor. He shouted, "I am Tie Ying of Iron Country. I am here to welcome the emissary of Li Bing Wei. Are you Xuan Cuo of Black Bird Tribe?"

Xuan Cuo cupped his hands and said, "That's right!"

Iron Eagle urged his horse forward. "Envoy, please follow me up the mountain to meet Tie Kui."

The Iron Country's Foundation Establishment leader was called Tie Kui, and his person was called Stone-Hearted Tie.

He was young, but he was quite skillful. His strength could be said to be a dragon or phoenix among men. He was a rare hero.

After the battle between Yan Shiying and Chen Qing, a large number of Iron Nation Foundation Establishment Cultivators were quickly gathered.

The Iron Nation was different from the other nations of Nanli. The Lin Nation could be said to be rich in Jiuli.

The Iron Nation was terrifyingly poor.

Because the earth contained a large amount of iron, it was very unsuitable for the growth of spirit herbs.

Therefore, Iron Country was the poorest country in Jiuli.

The Iron Nation had the least number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but their individual strength was above the Nine Nations.

There were many brave warriors in the bitter cold.

There was a popular saying in Jiuli that the Iron Nation's Foundation Establishment could not reach a hundred.

If one reached a hundred, they would be invincible.

Due to the uniqueness of the Gu worms, the Iron Nation's cultivators were one of the rare few who could gather all their Foundation Establishment cultivators and form an army.

There were too few types of Gu worms in this country, but there were many of them. Therefore, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators had the same Gu worms.

To be honest, if it were not for Miao Shen suppressing the Nine Nations, the Iron Nation's cultivators' greatest joy would be robbing the Lin Nation's Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Of course, if it were not for Miao Shen, the Iron Nation would not have survived until now.

Xuan Cuo led people to Mount Ji. When they passed by the Iron Nation's Foundation Establishment cultivators, they saw the corpses of the Xuan Guan Army.

They quickly recognized that these were the corpses of Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, that was all.

There was no panic at all.

They seemed to be used to this scene.

After climbing Mount Ji, Xuan Cuo saw another team before they reached the main hall at the top of the mountain.

There was only one person in this team, but he was protected by a large number of Iron Nation's guards.

The person looked to be in his eighties. He sat on a donkey, swaying back and forth.

Iron Eagle did not hide anything. "This person is called Bai Mao. He is Yan Shiying's envoy."

Xuan Cuo shouted, "You are very brave. A defeated general dares to come as an envoy."

Bai Mao laughed loudly. "My lord is what the people want. What is there to fear even if I die for my lord?"

Xuan Cuo said, "Our Lord Guard is Miao Shen's favorite. He is ordered by Miao Shen to clean up the universe and whip Nine Li. Yan Shiying is nothing but a traitor!"

After arguing with Bai Mao, Xuan Cuo did not continue. It was a waste of breath to say such things in front of these guards.

Soon, Xuan Cuo led Jiang Xingchuan into Mount Ji Palace at the top of the mountain.

Thorns grew everywhere. After a large number of cultivators moved in, they became iron thorns.

Mount Ji Palace was formed by a circle of twisted thorns.

After entering Mount Ji Palace, there were two seats at the front of the two sides. Iron Eagle led the two of them to the two seats.

Xuan Cuo looked at the two sides. Almost all of them were at the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm. There were a total of four generals.

They were all clad in iron armor and had sharp swords at their waists.

As the Iron Nation was located in a barren land, it did not have many large tribes like the other nations.

Most of the Iron Nation tribes only had one or two Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.

Therefore, the people in power here were all powerful people. They were not distributed according to the size of the tribe.

The one sitting at the front was the leader of the Iron Nation's Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, Tie Kui and Shi Xintie.

Seeing the two of them take their seats, Shi Xintie said in a deep voice, "It is the Iron Nation's honor to have the two of you here."

"However, the envoys have not arrived yet. Therefore, I need the two of you to wait for a while."

Xuan Cuo looked at the seating arrangement. He did not leave a seat for the remaining envoy. It seemed like Shi Xintie looked down on the envoy who had not arrived yet.

"There is another envoy?"

Shi Xintie laughed. "He is just a clown. The Water Nation further east also had thoughts after seeing Miao Shen's favorite fighting with Commander Yan."

"The two of you do not need to take it to heart."

Hearing that the Water Nation's Foundation Establishment realm cultivators also had thoughts of fighting, Xuan Cuo and Bai Mao looked at each other and laughed.

To start a war, it was not just about who was more powerful. Under Miao Shen's rule, it was also about righteousness.

Yan Shiying had won the hearts of the people by shouting the slogan that everyone could become an entry-level cultivator.

Chen Qing had gained the status of Miao Shen's favorite by worshiping him. Only then could he legitimately conquer the disloyal people of Jiuli.

As for the Water Nation, what was that?

Were they worthy?
